'Nonsense': Richard Keys says he's really not happy with how 24-year-old Chelsea man wears his socks
Pundit Richard Keys has shared why one Chelsea player is really annoying him with his choice of attire recently.
He told his blog that he is really not a fan of how Conor Gallagher wears his socks while representing Chelsea.
Gallagher has frequently been given the captain’s armband on occassion this season due to injuries to skipper Reece James and his deputy Ben Chilwell.
In recent weeks, the England midfielder has put in some of his best perfromances in a Chelsea shirt, as speculation regarding his future continues to spread.
It seems you can’t please everyone though. Keys has now taken issue with how the 24-year-old cuts holes in his socks.
He said: “I asked a top medic again today why players cut holes in the back of their socks. He confirmed what I’d previously been told. Apparently some believe the socks are too tight – and they stop the flow of blood to the calf. Bollocks. They don’t wear anything on their heads do they but clearly the flow of blood is restricted to that area of some of these young men.
“It’s got to stop. This weekend Conor Gallagher resembled the poor lad who plays on Hackney Marshes every week that can’t afford kit. You’re a professional man. Look professional. You don’t see Messi or Ronaldo going round looking like they can’t afford socks do you? Perhaps Gallagher believes that players shouldn’t wear socks at all?
“Gallagher will be at Wembley this weekend – the spiritual home of Bobby Moore – the greatest England captain ever to have played the game. Bob never once looked anything but immaculate on a football pitch.
“I hope Gallagher understands that – like it or not – he’s a role model who youngsters emulate and he could learn from Moore’s example. I get it that times and fashions change. There’s nothing wrong with that. But this trend is a nonsense. Smarten up man.”
This is obviously a minor and petty detail that Gallagher will rightly take no notice of, as we hope he continues to put in his gamechanging performances.
